Game Night cookies!

Game night was a huge success! Everyone had such a great time and we may have going through a bit of wine and beer. Another thing we went through were my domino cookies that I found on the Country Living website.

They were basically chocolate sugar cookies with whit chips placed to be the pips of the dominoes.

1 1/2cup(s) unsweetened cocoa

1 1/4cup(s) all-purpose flour

1teaspoon(s) salt

3/4cup(s) unsalted butter, room temperature

3/4cup(s) granulated sugar

1/2cup(s) light-brown sugar

1teaspoon(s) vanilla extract

1/2cup(s) heavy cream

1/4cup(s) large white chocolate chips

Directions

Sift the cocoa, flour, and salt together into a medium bowl and set aside.

Beat the butter and sugars with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low and gradually add the cocoa mixture.

Add the vanilla extract and cream and beat until a dough forms. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Roll the dough to 1/4-inch thickness, cut 16 2- by 4-inch rectangles, and place on baking sheets. Score each rectangle in the middle — the short way — and press in the chips to create dominos. Place the cookies on a prepared baking sheet. Chill for 15 minutes. Bake for 13 minutes. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.

I hope if you have a game night your cookies go over as well as mine did!
